Introduction

Book Cover The first book of the first academic journal on South Asia Women's Studies on the Internet is finally available. For the first time an electronic journal becomes a hard copy publication.

The Journal of South Asia Women Studies is a peer reviewed, award-winning journal. This publication comprises six JSAWS issues, from November 1995 to August 1997.

The journal was established to promote, collect and unify scholarship on and by South Asian women in such fields and topics such as religious studies, ethics, human rights, law, economics, literature, anthropology, social sciences, etc. The journal is also a platform for dialog on interfaith issues, and for dialog on issues of importance to Asian women.

We want to promote an international debate on the subject and create a channel of communication between science and media, between scholarly production and NGOs activities, and between positive and religious thought and/or ethical thought. We want to publicize the scholarly study of women in terms of human rights. Women Studies, and particularly “Third World” Women Studies, means to be involved in ethical and social issues.

The areas of study of this journal include all the Asian countries from India to Taiwan.
